    Hey TairikuOkami, *Smile

    As a test, do you have thumbnails for them if using the default "Movies & TV" app?

    I set "Movies & TV" as default, uninstalled codecs, restarted and thumbnails still show, deleting the cache killed it.
    Deleting cache repeatedly, thumbnails are just gone, no matter, what app is set as a default.
    Reinstalling codecs without deleting the cache or restarting explorer, thumbnails are back.

    These are the two folders with the same content, one with, one without, thumbnails.
    (And I now see the paper clip! I am so sorry for all that wasted time!)
